Analysis of birefringence and eigen-axes orientation resulting from the interplay between initial and form birefringence in UV-illuminated fiber

摘要

Birefringence and eigen-axes orientation are computed in UV-illuminated fibers with a high-order isoparametric vectorial finite element method. Form birefringence is included in the index profile of weakly birefringent fibers and various UV-beam orientations are considered
